Dune to be directed by Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049)

in theatres Dec 18

 

I’m sure how COVID-19 plays out will impact this as well. I’m hoping it will be in theaters but will moviegoers?

 

We'll find out soon enough with Mulan and Tenet.

 

If the trailer’s rockin’ it’s gonna get swallowed by Shai-Hulud.

 

I'm not going to a movie theater until a vaccine is done, injected in me, and proven to work. They can stop promoting films until that happens.

 

You'll be safe if you wear your stillsuit and beat anyone who gets too close with your maker hook.

 

I hear the effects in that trailer are amazing.

I have a hard time arguing with this. I think that's a good tactic for now.

 

These are my initial thoughts as well.

But we still are facing an unknown future with both CV19 and the flu season in full swing.

Right now, for most areas of the country that are not hot spots, I think that going to a very uncrowded movie theater, which I did a couple of weeks back, presents almost a zero risk.

December and on in to next year remains a big question mark.

 

Something tells me you would have hated the original production of Romeo and Juliet, where Juliet was played by a man.

 

I'm in the same camp and I think the studio's would be wise to just wait a few extra months.

I hope they do because I would love to see this one on something bigger than my home theater. Something needs to erase the memory of the disaster that was the Lynch film, which I wasted my time/money on.

 

I really want to see this in the theater, but I’d happily stream it on my new weirding module.

 

Why One Key No Time To Die Crew Member Left The Movie For Dune

 

These are bound to get moved again..
Surely WB aren't going to waste $200M+ on putting Tenet out when 50% of the movie going public won't want to venture into a theatre?

 

I would put that closer to 90%.

Maybe a real high budget tent pole type movie like Tenant might lower the percentage bar a bit, but even then, I doubt if you could get it to move to even 75% of what it might otherwise be.

 

I LOL’ed, but I gotta say turning the Weirding Way into a Module was one of the things about that Script/Movie that pissed me off the most.

 

Apparently a teaser will be shown before Tenet, the full trailer will be released online on Sept 9.

 

Those leaked images so far look incredible! Disappointed that the trailer - I meant teaser, didn't launch in Oz when I saw Tenet yesterday but then again, it didn't seem to air in the UK either.

So hyped for this!

 

Everything I've seen and heard about this film just makes me look forward to it even more - the book is in my top ten books for sure. Anyway, here's a look at the picture's from the latest Empire magazine, including what I think is a good take on why Liet is now female (something that doesn't bother me anyway)

 

I like Quinn. And I enjoy his critiques into Game of Thrones as well. As for those new images, that sandworm cover looks incredible!! Even that sandworm mural looks stunning too. So excited - even got to see that leaked teaser on Twitter too, which was awesome. Looking forward to the full trailer now (only 4 more days)...

 

Teaser for the trailer to be released tomorrow.

 

Teaser for a trailer? This is like Star Wars-level hype. Has Dune always been this big?

 

Not to my knowledge. I started reading the series 6 months before the David Lynch movie in 1984 and outside of a few hardcore geeks nobody knew anything about it.

 

Then why all this attention? Don't get me wrong: I love Dune too, but I didn't realize it had this level of popular cachet.

 

I have no idea. I predicted it will bomb for the simple reason that outside of the SciFi community nobody knows anything about it. The female audience is pretty much nil (hence the gender swap of Dr. Kynes).

Dune is my favorite series of books. I tried to turn a few friends onto it as a teen in the 1980's and they couldn't get past Frank Herbert's literary writing style. And then they watched the movie were even less interested.

I should be glad that the studio seems to be getting behind this movie. I hope to be proven wrong about it being a bomb.

 

Isn't Dune one of the best-known science-fantasy literary series of all-time in North America?

Most people I hang out with know what it is, even if they haven't read the books. Maybe it's an European thing.
